To prohibit certain food additives, to prohibit the sale of food containing certain color additives at schools…
Official titleShowHide
Resolution calling on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, S.1239A/A.1556A, to prohibit certain food additives, to prohibit the sale of food containing certain color additives at schools, and to prohibit the use of substances “Generally Recognized as Safe” in food unless certain reporting requirements are met.
The heading above is this same sentence with its legal opening removed. No words were added, changed or reordered.
This is a request, not a law. The City Council is asking the New York State Legislature and the Governor to act, because the subject is outside the city's authority. Passing it commits the city to a position; it does not change the rule.
Summary
Prohibit certain food additives, to prohibit the sale of food containing certain color additives at schools, and to prohibit the use of substances “Generally Recognized as Safe” in food (S.1239A/A.1556A).
